I got my tab in Norway yesterday and i noticed that the news and magazine section is not activated yet. Does anyone know when "Service will be available soon" is? Like 1 week, month, half a year?
Update: News and Magazines seems to be available to most people now, just open Readers Hub and click on Install. Personally i only got the update for Zinio.
If you don't get the install option try to go into "Manage applications" find the Readers Hub app and clear data, then start the app again.
Been trying to google an answer myself. Wished Samsung would come out with an official statement. It's one of the most anticipated things on my list.

from what i can tell they dont work anywhere yet (mines italian)
Not working for me in Malaysia yet as well.
Same here in Dubai. Firmware JPJJ1. Does anyone see them active using any other firmware?
Zinio isn't even available if you go to their homepage.
It was supposed to be relased this summer.
It appears to be available, as per some reviews. See PC World hands on with the Galaxy Tab.
So the question is, has it been pulled back due to some reason... or if it is to be made available in only select markets?
Either way, it's quite unfortunate, as Zinio was one of the features I was looking forward to in the Galaxy Tab.
German tab in the netherlands not activated either

UK: only Kobo e-books available, out of the 3 options in the reader "hub".
I found the reader hub apps, taken from the Tab, and I loaded them on Desire HD.
Zinio is working, and I was able to download the magazines that I purchased (I have a subscription from the time I owed an iPad). News papers are working too.
Why it is not working on the Tab ?
Zinio launch says Zinio beta - it is the same on Tab ?
I am waiting for my Tab to arrive soon, and I was looking forward to read my magazines from Zinio.
Could you guys upload those files and see if it is working ?
This worked! - showthread.php?t=827566 (I can't post links here yet)...
Perhaps it's the limited catalogue for Android/Tab formatted content that has prompted Samsung to hold back until later...

I've tried, this and it works.
If you install the zinio and press reader only, only the press reader app is available in readers hub.
If you install the readers hub as well, you'll end up with two applications "readers hub" and "ReadingHub", and in the later one. Zinio is available.
Downloading my Zinio subscriptions right now, unfortunately it crashed..
Update: Was able to download an issue now but the internal pdf-viewer doesn't seem to work so it is pretty much back to square one.
Hi there
can u please explain how you managed to fix this? im still not able to use this service :-(

It seems to be a problem with Zinio on the new magazines.
When I try to download the new issue on iPhone, the app crashes. The old magazines (October or November) are working fine - download and read.
Same thing happens on Desire HD.
Where can I get the apps? Any idea?
Link to apk:s are in the first post on this page.
I just bought a subscription and downloaded it... it seemed like the magazine would not load but zooming in a tiny bit opened the page?? It seems like the preview won't open/render properly.
I don't understand why this would happen. As I don't have any old subscriptions to try, I can't comment on the ability to load past issues. I wish Zino would fix this.... I can't be that hard to rectify!
According to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, readers hub will be ready «in a week or two».

Same here. On Macworld from August there is no need to zoom - I think they change the format from that time.
Let's hope they will come soon with a proper release app.

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help
I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

Very new on Android and I'm trying to figure out the basic stuffs. Bought 2 of these tablet so I can do video chat with my wife and kids.
People have posted that Google talk works but I don't know how to set it up. I looked in the market and didn't see any Google talk app in there so I'm assuming that it's web-based. Googled it and didn't find any link that will set it up for me. I setup my browser (Dolphin HD) as either Android or Desktop and still can't find any link that will launch the app. I Also looked on these forums but can't find a set of instructions that work, just some posts that fix the issues.
An Idiot's guide will work for me.
I believe Google Talk was already loaded on mine. The icon is a speech bubble that says "Talk" in it. It works beautifully for video chat.
Check your installed apps, it should already have been installed on the device. It's apps called 'Talk.' It's one of Googles default apps, also one that can't be found on the market.

Look on the next page if you have more than one. Just swipe your finger across the screen when looking at your Apps screen. My icon for Google talk is on the 2nd page of installed apps.

If for some reason you dont like google talk, tango is another free app in the market, and i like it quite a bit.

They may be cross mobile platform (iOS, Android), but not on PC. With google talk you can go tablet to PC. And soon it will be available for gingerbread phones. And hopefully it will get iOS support eventually and work on all platforms. Or, maybe skype will eventually get Android support.
Don't count on getting skype video for android now. They were working on a video chat version, but now Microsoft has just bought them.
Thanks akashhhh, for pointing out the Chat app on the TF. It looks promising. As soon as I can snatch the new TF back from my wife, I'll try it out. I may have to buy another one. She has taken possession of it, and won't let loose.
R.I.P possibility of Skype Video on Android.. Google talk is nice, but no match for skype
Google talk works great for me. TF to desktop all the time.
Fring works but sound is not brilliant

When I search from either the Google search widget or the HTC browser, instead of returning the results on the standard Google homepage, the results get returned as per the attachment.
Any ideas on how I can fix it? I know it is a trivial issue, but it is really annoying.
Thanks.
Never seen that before. Mine goes to the Google page search results.
Have you tried updating the Google Search app? It's in the Market.
Yep, I tried that with no joy.
I assume it's some kind of Vodafone addition in order to try to gather metrics on usage.
It's just really annoying and I'd very much like to go back to the proper results page...
I'm not sure I get what the problem is... The screenshot looks like the search results on my phone and pc browser.

Here is an example of the searches side by side.
As I say, it's a petty problem but very annoying.
re:Browser settings
Just open the browser, menu>more>settings> tick mobile view
Unfortunately that setting was already ticked.
I think that someone has created a custom search (Using this: http://www.google.com/cse/) and incorporated that instead. I assume it must be Vodafone.
Hi guys and girls,
after looking quite hard at the forums, iv found a few topics that are "close but no cigar", so im starting a new thread to try and get the ball rolling and hopefully soon, make an app that will be available on all android devices.
the topic says it all.
I started a website 4 years ago that enables direct streaming of .avi files to your pc and now im trying make the process on your phone as seamless as it is on your pc!
at the moment, the current way of doing this is
1) get the file link from megaupload.com
2) go to your .avi media player
3) input the link
4) watch.
so basicly im trying to get it so an app will skip steps 2 and 3.
because the way you get the link from the site i run at them moment is allready a 4 step process, cutting it from a 4 to 6 step one on the mobile phone side would be a brilliant step in the right direction!
a couple of threads allready on xda/apps on the market that are along the right lines are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885 - But the app has been removed from the market and the dev's have stopped working on it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.megastream - this app has recieved many negative comments and after trying it, it does what im trying to do but in a very long winded and drawn out way.
(edit) the irony is, the app thats been made now which is fantastic btw, has been made by the same guy!(/edit)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream this is the app btw
Not trying to advertise but if you search Icefilms on xda theres a lot of people who use the site and want to use it on their phones, so im here now trying to do it and hopefully get some help because honestly im a total n00b to the app dev side of mobile phones!
there is allready a greasemoney/userscript app for android, but the Greasmoneky script the site uses encorperates DivX web player, which is not available for android. So you can install the userscript but theres no bridg between the link and the video player!
so, there in lies the problem and my mission!
any ideas or anyone willing to give me some of their time to get this project rolling?
thanks in advance,
Morgan
icefilms.info admin
anyone home?
guess i'll go to bed and come back tomorrow and see!
good night all
and thanks again in advance!
As a daily icefilms user, and soon to be a android tablet owner (TF201). I hearby *BUMP* this thread!
well, like i said, we have near on 3 and a half million hits a day, but dont have our own app.... that kinda sucks tbf.
hopefully we can get some interest!
still nothing?
I read somewhere that there is a XBMC for android in development, but who knows how long it'll take
well, to be honest, thats a fantastic idea!
if you find any more info on it, please let me know!
1 use the browser "maxthon for tablet"
www . maxthon . com
2 apk megaplayer
megaplayer takes on the market with three free plug-in.
With you going on your site by activating the flash
